The tension in him snapped. Desire flared, and with a swift motion, he grabbed Charlotte\u2019s arm, pulling her into his embrace. This time, she didn\u2019t struggle violently like before. Instead, her hand pressed lightly against his heart, keeping a fraction of space between them. \u201cDo you know how angry | am?\u201d Ethan\u2019s breath was low and cold, brushing across her skin. Charlotte furrowed her brow at the proximity.<\/p>\n<p>His voice carried an ambiguous undertone, and as he spoke, he absentmindedly tucked a stray strand of her hair behind her ear. To him, it felt natural-after all, their relationship had long hovered on the edge of intimacy. \u201cI don\u2019t understand your intentions, Ethan,\u201d Charlotte said, a faint twitch at the corner of her lips, eyes calm and emotionless. \u201cLonly know this: | trusted you so much. | even ignored Khloe\u2019s warnings just to have private contact with you. And yet\u2026 you \u2014- \u2018treat me like this. Should | resign, move away, so that you\u2019ll finally leave me alone?\u201d Ethan chuckled.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Charlotte had quite the talent for turning the tables. She had deliberately approached him, deliberately tested him, reporting back to Khloe all the while-but in just a few words, she painted herself as a pitiful victim, tormented by him. He\u2019d dealt with manipulative women before, but someone like Charlotte-genuinely sincere-was a first He lifted her chin with a finger. \u201cYou want me to let you go?\u201d Charlotte met his gaze evenly. \u201cEthan, it\u2019s late. I\u2019m going home.\u201d With that, she pushed him lightly and turned toward her room.<\/p>\n<p>Ethan crouched to sweep the cigarette butts aside with his toe and followed her inside. It was too late for her to protest. He grabbed her hand, closed the door behind them, and pressed his body against hers, a faint smile tugging at his lips. \u201cYou nearly ruined my plans today, made me so angry\u2026 so tonight, I\u2019m staying at your place.\u201d There was no negotiation. He strode toward her bedroom \u2014- without changing his shoes, leaving Charlotte blinking in surprise. Even Ethan didn\u2019t know why he did it-bothering Charlotte had a peculiar thrill.<\/p>\n<p>Despite her cramped, outdated apartment being uncomfortable, he somehow slept better here than anywhere else. \u201cEthan, do you have a thing for staying in poor people\u2019s homes? If you like it so much, you could just rent this place out. Then | can go stay at your house, okay?\u201d Suppressing her irritation, Charlotte teased him. She grabbed a pair of disposable slippers from the shoe rack and tossed them tohim. \u201cSure, but you probably couldn\u2019t get into my place anyway.\u201d Ethan sat on the sofa, casual and unbothered. Charlotte didn\u2019t hesitate to bargain.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy your standards, one night in my home would cost at least a thousand, right?\u201d Without a word, Ethan pulled a card from his jacket pocket. \u201d There\u2019s a hundred thousand in here. No password.\u201d Charlotte\u2019s heart skipped a beat She despised Ethan, but she didn\u2019t despise money. His usual power-play of casually flaunting wealth didn\u2019t impress \u2014- her-it only annoyed her. Still, she accepted the card without hesitation. \u201cThank you, Ethan. Next time you want to stay here, Illjust go to a hotel.\u201d \u201cNo need. | sleep well when you\u2019re here,\u201d he said casually. \u201cBut | don\u2019t dare,\u201d Charlotte replied.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t you have Khloe backing you up? Besides, | thought you were fearless?\u201d Ethan teased. After changing into the slippers, he leaned back, completely relaxed.<\/p>\n<p>Please support our website by sharing this novel\u2019s link on your social platforms \u2014 Reddit, Facebook, WhatsApp, and Telegram.
